BROAD CREEK GUEST HOUSE

This project reimagines a modest two-bedroom waterfront cottage as a welcoming guest house designed for gathering, cooking, and connection. The owners—avid gardeners and enthusiastic hosts—wanted a space where fresh, organic produce from just outside the back door could be shared with family and friends.

 

At the heart of the renovation is a dramatic vaulted “cathedral” ceiling in the main living area—an airy, light-filled space that celebrates the joy of cooking. The open kitchen anchors the room with generous work surfaces, while a bar and compact wood stove frame the dining area. A new sitting room offers expansive views of Broad Creek, bringing the outdoors in. Natural materials and a soft, light palette let the surrounding landscape take center stage.

 

The guest suite bathroom offers a serene retreat, featuring soft blue cabinetry, handcrafted tile, and a freestanding tub oriented toward the water. Rooted in rural simplicity, the home’s quiet architecture reflects the owners’ love of hospitality and relaxed entertaining.
